Proud To Be a Christian signs begin to take hold

Wednesday

ASHEBORO — “Thank you Jesus” signs are a common sight to see while driving through Asheboro, but in recent months, a new sign has found its way into people’s front yards.

Nancy Lamonds, an Asheboro resident, fell asleep in February and had a dream of Christian flags in a field surrounded by grass.

At the time, she didn’t know what to make of the dream.

According to Lamonds, months later, when she was having trouble sleeping, she heard a name.

“God gave me the name Andy,” she explained.

Andy is Lamonds’s nephew who she hadn’t seen in over seven years, who just so happens to paint. She called her sister soon after she was given the name and the two of them drove 35 miles to visit Andy.

“I told Andy about the flag dream and his name coming up,” Lamonds said. “I asked him to draw the flag.”

She wasn’t sure what she wanted the flag to say, but as soon as Andy asked, Lamonds replied without thinking:

“Proud To Be a Christian.”

In a week’s time, Lamonds’s sister brought her an image of the design that Andy had drawn.

“I took the image to Village Printing and they came up with the signs and magnets,” she said.

Lamonds initially invested $65 for the layout in August. In the days that followed, she earned enough money from people interested in the signs to pay for the first order, which included 200 signs and 100 magnets.

She also was able to donate 11 signs through the money raised.

Lamonds is now in the middle of selling and distributing her second order of 200 signs and 100 magnets.

The response from the community has been great, she says. She credits the ease with which she was able to create and now sell the signs to God.

“It came from God and everything is going back to God,” she said.

The money raised from the sale of the signs and magnets is being given to the Christians United Outreach Center.
